After continued thought on developing my idea, I decided that I really liked the idea of really over exaggerated facial expressions in order to tell the comedy of the moment. I think that if the man was to put the ring in her glass and then hints to it by nodding at it, then she could look happy and surprised but she means about the champagne that she hadn't noticed. She would then proceed to drink it and swallow the ring whole. The man could then look at her in shock at how she didn't notice the ring (perhaps his jaw could slam into the table to exaggerate the shock).
I am liking this idea much more and so I looked into more uses of exaggerated visual comedy in order to influence my ideas. I will still be trying to think of more ways to develop my idea and add more humour into it.
I'm thinking about making this similar to a silent comedy and use the over the top expressions to tell the story and humour. The first thing that came to mind when thinking of the tone and style I want to create was the work of Chuck Jones on Looney Toons. His use of character to create visual comedy is, in my opinion, some of the best. Though I know that I like this kind of stuff, I need to analyse it more in order to understand it enough to be able to apply it to my ideas.
I think after a bit more researching, I could make a text animatic to just get a guage on timings. This is something that always helps me to plan out the pacing of my initial idea before anything else so I will compile this as I think of more details.
